2012 TCI Top Model Contest winner Washanda Registre was super busy last weekend, as she did an editorial and cover photoshoot for this Summer’s Times of the Islands magazine and photos for a few upcoming Digicel TCI ad campaigns.
The TCI Top Model photoshoot took place in three locations: a villa, out to sea and on a beach. On Sunday, May 13th at light and airy Carib House, a marvelous home located in an upscale location on Providenciales, Washanda did the first half of her photoshoot. With open spaces, panoramic vistas and plush furnishing, this beautiful home had a fabulous outdoor patio with an infiniti pool – lending itself as a great locale for the shoot.
Accompanying the 2012 TCI Top Model on the shoot was male model Alyx Williams. Wearing outfits in today’s vibrant trendy colours, Washanda and Alyx were shot by up-and-coming photographer Renau Destine of Double R Media, who was assisted by Cadlin Pierre.
Also on hand were Executive Producer of the TCI Top Model Contest Courtney Robinson – who art directed the shoot, along Times Publishing Advertising Manager Claire Parrish and Digicel TCI Head of Marketing Ava-Dayne Fulford.
Washanda was transformed from fresh-faced beauty to glamorous catwalk queen; and Alyx from a cool dude to fashion forward style icon. The shoot, taking better part of the day to complete went exceptionally smooth. The models spirited through their looks at Carib House, on to the “Lady K” – a luxury speedboat, with the shoot ending on the idyllic isle of Water Cay.
“The photo shoot was incredible. Carib House, the Lady K and Water Cay were simply amazing and picturesque. Shooting with Alyx was a fun and incredible experience. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it,” said the 2012 TCI Top Model winner.
“I am indeed grateful for this opportunity, as it is one that I will relish. This is the lifestyle that I dreamt about and the career that I’m going to pursue with every fiber of my being. I love fashion modeling and cannot wait to explore every aspect of it here in the Turks & Caicos and the fashion capitals of the world,” said Washanda.
To see photos from the shoot, look out for this summer’s Times of the Islands magazine out mid June and Washanda’s first Digicel TCI ‘roaming ad’ campaign to be launched early this summer.
